St. Paul's UCW meets at 1:00 p.m. at the home of Carolyn Fraser.  Susan Nuttall is the guest speaker.  She has written a children’s book called Too. which she was inspired to write after retiring as a Probation Officer. While working with youth and adults she realized that many suffered from poor self- esteem and a lack of self- confidence.  The people in this book have their feelings hurt by nasty words. Why? Just because they are not exactly the way somebody thinks they should be!  It is not until they decide to believe in themselves that their lives change for the better. Roll Call - An Irish verse or saying.
